to be listed on Top Workplaces 2021. The Church’s culture
centers on putting our people first locally and globally, while creating
a supportive work environment,” said Karen
Viera, SVP and Global Chief People Officer for Church’s Chicken.
“In the wake of the pandemic, we drove more focus on our People First HR
Strategy to ensure that we were providing adequate assistance for our teams
across the system, from restaurant crew to those in the field to corporate
employees. COVID-19 called for special adaptations, and we wanted to meet
the moment for our teams, as we would under any other circumstances.”
In response to the pandemic, the Church’s People First HR Strategy transitioned to People First/Safety Always. The company took into consideration employees throughout the organization and how to safely and smartly continue operations for employees and guests. At the restaurant level, Church’s provided sufficient supplies of personal protective gear for employees, as well as their families and households and focused on the employee’s well being. Elevated cleaning procedures, social distancing, and other critical measures were also incorporated. The company supported corporate employees by offering work-at-home options, expanded health and wellness programs, limiting travel, and utilizing online tools and technology to streamline workflow and communication. “The strategies that we developed through this past year were multi-layered, putting considerable thought on how to best serve our employees and guests,” added Viera. “These changes were also developed to have sustainability for our employees today and beyond.” In addition to the safety elements, Church’s is also focused on engaging more with employees. By expanding interactions with team members via our digital workplace know as Team Church’s, pursuing their feedback, and assessing this data, the company reduced turnover during this challenging time and will continues to focus on attracting and maintaining top talent. Through these efforts, our goal is to continue to be rated as a top workplace by our employees.
